Konami gets ready for G2E 2018
The casino gaming developer emphasises creativity and enduring entertainment with its newest casino games and systems innovations.
US.- Konami Gaming, Inc. has announced a mix of Ultra HD game cabinets, progressive jackpot features, bonus play mechanics, and cardless player loyalty solutions set to debut at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas on October 9 – 11, 2018.
With momentum from popular game series such as Star Watch and Celestial Sun/Moon Riches, Konami is leveraging its gameplay features and bonus mechanics to deliver new entertainment for today’s players on every Concerto™ cabinet from the original upright to the new 65-inch 4K Ultra HD Concerto Opus™. In addition to record expansions to the Concerto Collection game library, Konami will premiere an entirely new 4K video cabinet called KX 43™, with a 43-inch edge-lit single screen, relaxed slant top, lighted dash interface, and exclusive 4K game content. Operating throughout G2E Booth #1154, Konami’s award-winning SYNKROS® casino management system will debut its “cardless” player loyalty solution SynkConnect™, which offers players a variety of convenient methods to log in to their account at the game machine.
“From top gameplay features to leading-edge systems technology, Konami is always creating new opportunities for casino players and operators to enjoy lasting engagement and memorable entertainment,” said Steve Walther, senior director, marketing & product management. “This year’s G2E lineup is characterized by continued growth and innovation across an array of original Konami releases, which we look forward to sharing with over 25,000 gaming executives and professionals from around the world.”
Mr Walther also praised the new KX 43 and advanced what Konami is bringing to G2E: “KX 43 delivers a unique gaming experience through its 4K-resolution game content and provides just the right combination of premium and practical. It is designed with a lean frame and standard base width for any area of the floor and comes with a competitive lineup of premiere titles, from symbol-driven linked progressives to original jackpot bonuses.”
The company’s 2018 display will also carry a broad variety of top-quality game content for each cabinet in the Concerto Collection. Konami’s 65-inch 4K Concerto Opus will debut a linked progressive called Treasure Ball™. Agent: Magnifying Jackpots™ and Inspector: Sign of the Jackpots™ continue the success of Konami’s Strike Zone™ mechanic on the curved Concerto Crescent™ and Stack™ cabinets with scaling multi-denom standalone jackpots and several other progressives.
“Konami’s latest game theme developments are at the highest level of depth and quality. We’ve invested strong talent, research, and strategic thought into these titles and look forward to introducing them to the industry for the first time during G2E 2018,” said Walther.
Konami’s SYNKROS casino management system will connect the booth with tools, features, and technology to power diverse casino enterprise sectors and sizes. This year’s G2E event marks the debut of Konami’s SynkConnect “cardless” player loyalty solution which will be available exclusively through SYNKROS.
